By Topic: Publication Notice

In honor of the July Fourth holiday in the United States, in place of our regular issue, The Cybersecurity Law Report is featuring some of its most-read articles from the first half of 2018. This year has been an active one in the cybersecurity and data privacy fields – the GDPR came into effect, domestic and international jurisdictions continued to pass substantial legislation and cyber threats continued to increase and shift. As organizations race to keep up, our readers have been focused on regulatory actions and guidance, shaping their internal programs and structure and managing third-party relationships. It has become clearer than ever that legal and technical teams need to communicate and collaborate to be effective. CSLR’s most popular series focused on when and how legal and information security should engage on cyber strategy and closing that legal/technical gap was also highlighted in other popular articles. Our regular publication schedule will resume on Wednesday, July 11, 2018.

With the much-anticipated General Data Protection Regulation coming into effect this week, The Cybersecurity Law Report is revisiting some of our most-read analysis of the regulation and how companies are preparing. These articles will provide you with relevant guidance for ongoing compliance efforts, including insight on specific provisions and enforcement expectations, as well as operational advice on setting up efficient compliance mechanisms. Our regular publication schedule will resume on Wednesday, May 30, 2018.

In honor of Thanksgiving in the United States, The Cybersecurity Law Report will not be publishing a regular issue on November 22, 2017. Instead, we are taking the opportunity to revisit some of our analysis of GDPR and Privacy Shield regulations. The Privacy Shield brought a shift in the law governing E.U.-U.S. data transfers and the upcoming GDPR will significantly change the treatment of data for companies with a European presence. Whether you are new to these issues or need to brush up on specific areas, these articles will provide you with relevant guidance. We will continue our coverage of the GDPR and its implications leading up to and following the May 25, 2018 implementation date, including guidance on breach notification, rights of data subjects and data privacy impact assessments. Our regular publication schedule will resume on Wednesday, December 6, 2017.
